By fully integrating authoritative data sources with collaborative tools, flexibledisplay technologies, and robust content management we will be better able to support the Fleet's war fighters--from Force Level leadership, to the sailor at any location and from any location. This evolution ofDistance Support capability also enables us to be more proactive in developing life-cycle solutions by making the information required readily available at the workers desktop. Investments in softwaredevelopment will develop or enhance undersea warfare analysis and assessment models, distance support initiatives and modules to support warfare center authoritative data sources. All development willprovide the collaborative structure which will contribute to achieving current / planned customer service levels. Software development projects include both internally developed initiatives and externallydeveloped initiatives.Impact:Without these investments, the warfare center will be unable to continue implementation of DoD and Navy standard systems in a common, integrated fashion. Undersea warfare models need to be reviewed inlight of modern computing architectures and futuristic ASW concepts such as distributed netted systems (DNS) and improved, redesigned, or replaced as appropriate so that NUWC's mission-level USWmodeling and analysis capability can be sustained for the next generation of analysis problems. Without these investments, the undersea simulation environment will not be fully equipped for high-levelarchitecture (HLA) operation to support high-fidelity Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) Synthetic Ocean for joint warfighting training operations. Furthermore, the simulation environment will not have theflexibility to tailor training scenarios to any realistic scenario future operational commanders need to intensively prepare for and strategic/tactical analysis. Without investments, programs will continue toinvest in unique software solutions for search and retrieval of information that is presently accessible only from separate, "stove-pipe" data, resulting in increased life-cycle costs and different levels of technicalintegrity. Additionally, lack of data sharing will impact ability to function as a warfare center enterprise conflicting with Sea Enterprise objectives.Automated Material Handling Facility (AMHF) (FY10 - $1,200K) Upgrade and replace the obsolete control system software for the Automated Material Handling Facility (AMHF) during FY10. This softwareis integral to operation of the AMHF to locate and deliver hardware from the AMHF high-rise storage to the Keyport Depot and Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) , and supports storage and the issue ofhardware from NUWC Keyport to throughout the Fleet.Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) (FY11 - $2.069M) - Navy ERP is an integrated business management system that modernizes and standardizes Navy business operations, provides management visibilityacross the enterprise, and increases effectiveness and efficiency. ERP will provide consistent and streamlined business activities that operate under a single system. During ERP implementation, businessprocesses will be updated and simplified, redundancies will be eliminated, and efficiencies realized.
